EVIDENCE: Provides relative to evidentiary presumptions in personal injury claims

Removed the automatic presumption that an illness or injury was caused by an act if the person was in good health before the act and the condition remained after.

Added a requirement for claimants to prove every element of their claim, specifically including causation, rather than relying on statutory presumptions.

Added an explicit exemption stating that these new evidentiary rules do not apply to claims brought under the Louisiana Workers' Compensation Law.

Modified the criteria for establishing causation to require proof that there is a reasonable possibility of a causal connection, replacing the previous automatic inference.

Removed the 'Reengrossed' status and replaced it with 'Enrolled', indicating the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.

Deleted the Legislative Services digest and abstract, which previously explained the bill's purpose and intent in plain language.

Removed the 'Summary of Amendments Adopted by House' section, which detailed the specific changes made to the bill during the legislative process.

Adjusted the header layout to include signatures for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor, reflecting the bill's final approval status.

Removed the original text that would have prevented claimants from using a lack of prior health issues to prove an injury was caused by a specific act.

Added new text explicitly stating that a lack of prior medical history shall not create a presumption that an illness or injury was caused by the act in question.

Added a new list of sponsors to the bill, expanding the group of legislators supporting the measure.

Modified the legal language to clarify that the bill is intended to overrule the Housley v. Cerise court decision.
